Meh, ****ing love Phil Jones. Brilliant goal saving tackle - OK his miss set it up, but he was a bit dazed.

Excited for Spurs vs Chelsea. Surely the pace of Tottenham will be too much for Chelsea's stupidly high line.

Bale and Lennon both out I thought?

Chelsea been playing a fair bit deeper of late anyway, guessing they will try and set up like they did against Valencia.

Nah as it mentions in the article iteslf Tim Vickery made similar points this week. To ignore the cultural differences and Englands own unique history with the issue is I think as equally as stupid as totally excusing Suarez.

Also no matter what the rights and wrongs actually are there is absoutely no doubt that England are viewed by the rest of the game as arrogant and self-righteous.

Yeah, without Sideshow, they're not playing such a suicidal style, AVB may have realised that his captain isn't Usain Bolt. Makes it all the more puzzling that Alex is going though.

I'm not convinced how good this "cultural differences" argument is though. I don't for one moment believe Suarez actually is a racist, and I'm happy to accept that whatever he said may have be acceptable elsewhere in the world. I feel a bit sorry for him in this sense, as it probably is just a misunderstanding, and he's really copped for it at the expense of what Evra has said (who let's face it less than a decent individual). However, whilst the alleged offence may have been dealt with differently in other parts of the world, it did not occur in other parts of the world. I think that's the crux of the matter, and unfortunately for Suarez, ignorance is not bliss.
